The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Known issues on the 2005 A4. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year, three of them tied to the passenger frontal air bag inflator module: propellant degradation in the inflator can lead to an explosion or rupture that sends metal fragments into the vehicle occupants, resulting in serious injury or death, and Volkswagen issued this recall in three separate waves as replacement parts and regional zones were phased in. The fourth covers an aftermarket water pump used in service replacements on this engine: a resulting timing belt failure can shut the engine down and increase the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 219 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From an air bag module inspection to a timing belt and water pump job, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2005 A4.
